Hello Alan,
Can drag washer grease (Cal's or Shimano) be used for bearings, or am I better off staying with blue Yamaha grease? I recently rebuilt an Avet SX and was out of Yamaha grease and used corrosion x on the spool bearings, and Shimano grease on the drag washer and everything else. Seems to be working fine, but I'm wondering if this could cause problems down the road.
Thanks.
i think that cal's or shimano's teflon grease should be fine for bearings. they're just so damned expensive. cal's is $25 per pound and shimano's is $50 per pound. compare that to yamaha blue grease for $3 per pound. that's really the only reason. you should be fine. but, um, can you let us know if you actually do have problems? ;D
